Hi,
I 'm planing to build a PC for working in programs like AutoCAD, Solidworks ,Maya and gaming.
My curent build is really old :UserBenchmarks: Game 12%, Desk 38%, Work 17%
CPU: Intel Core i3-2120 - 48.6%
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5450 - 1.6%
HDD: WD Blue 250GB (2007) - 32.9%
RAM: Nanya NT4GC64B8HG0NF-CG 1x4GB - 29.4%
MBD: Dell OptiPlex 790

Should I buy a gtx 1050 ti?
My budget is around 500€
Should I go with Intel or AMD?
I already have a case, monitor and OS, so I don't need those
Also I don't play the latest games but I hope it should be able to run games like Witcher 2, dark souls 2-3 , ark: survival evolved and some total war strategy games.
I'm still a student so I don't have much money and my buying options in my country are very limited.
It would be great if you could recommend me things from the Netherlands or Austria
Thanks

not the prettiest, but it will get the job done. I would recommend getting a 1600x and upping the RAM to 16GB when you get the chance.

You are trying to work from a pre-build? You should have mentioned that. You are probably off better getting another case. There is a great deal for a $20 case online right now. Sure it will put you a tad overbudget, but I think it will work. Now it should play all of those games, but it will have to be at low to medium settings, but mostly low.
